There's a hoary old joke about some explorer who scours the world for the
grave of Mozart. When he finally locates and open the tomb, he finds the
old-dead-guy tearing up his manuscripts ...
"What are you doing?! Those are priceless treasures!" he cries.
"De-composing" replies Mozart.
So ... it just struck me that Walter may have surreptitiously snuck in a
crafty one regarding the D compiler (de-compile?).

No offence intended (of course). But my macabre sense-of-humour was tickled
by the notion that we, all of us on this newsgroup, are effectively
de-compiling ...
what does it all mean? :-)

I actually thought it was funny! :-D
...although I wouldn't say it was very flattering to D.

Ah yes;
And what about D-porting?
or perhaps (almost an oxymoron) D-cyphering?
or the OO D-composition :-)
or the French D'etente
or (aha ha ha!) Matthew's D-Range() ... Ahem, 'scuze me
I'm sure Brad Anderson can come up with some more.
